Insectes Pl.11 by Emile-Allain Séguy, 1929

Emile-Allain Séguy’s 1929 'Insectes Pl.11' transforms creepy crawlies into high fashion with a vibrant explosion of Art Deco flair. The four distinct panels showcase his signature bold, repeating patterns of moths and cicadas in striking reds, greens, and blues, created using the meticulous pochoir (hand-stenciling) technique. Originally published in his legendary book Papillons et Insectes, these designs were specifically created to inspire textile and wallpaper manufacturers of the Jazz Age, proving that nature's smallest creatures can make the biggest style statements.
